Sarcoidosis-Like Reaction in Melanoma Patients Receiving Immunotherapy or Targeted Therapy.

This case series highlights the complexity of sarcoidosis-like reactions (SLRs) during cancer treatment, specifically in patients receiving immunotherapy or targeted therapies for melanoma. SLRs can either mimic disease progression or present as part of the clinical manifestation, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Our study reviewed the medical records of 31 patients who were candidates for postoperative treatment between June 2022 and June 2024.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Patients with Psoriasis and a History of Malignancies or On-Treatment for Solid Tumors: A Narrative Literature Review.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease that is linked to an increased risk of cancer. Although numerous studies have explored whether neoplasms are concurrent conditions or are induced by psoriasis, a definitive definition remains elusive. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive narrative literature review to offer practical guidance to oncologists and dermatologists regarding the initiation and discontinuation of biologics for psoriasis.

Molluscum contagiosum eruption during therapy with methotrexate and abatacept: A clinical and dermoscopic case study.

The use of multiple drugs acting as modulators of the immune system are common among patients with severe autoimmune diseases. In these clinical scenarios, great attention should be placed on diagnosing infective cutaneous disorders that can underly iatrogenic immunosuppression. Here within, we report a rare case of molluscum contagiosum eruption on the face and the scalp during an immunomodulating treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, with clinical and dermatoscopic characterization.

Vulval hidradenoma papilliferum: a clinical and dermoscopic study.

Hidradenoma papilliferum (HP) is a rare, slow-growing, benign adnexal tumour with apocrine differentiation. It usually affects the anogenital region in adult women and is clinically polymorphous, mimicking other benign or malignant neoformations. The dermoscopic features of vulval HP have not been reported yet.

Thin vulvar melanoma: a challenging diagnosis. Dermoscopic features of a case series.

Background: Vulvar melanoma (VM) is rare and is often diagnosed late. Dermoscopy may aid in its recognition, differentiating VM from other more common vulvar lesions, such as melanosis and naevi. However, little is known about the dermoscopic features of thin VM.

Melanoma and pregnancy.

The last decades were characterized by a worldwide increasing incidence in melanoma. Almost 35% of diagnosed with melanoma women are in childbearing age. Malignant melanoma is the most common malignancy during pregnancy.
